Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It is merely the fuel for the spell." Cadmus blushed being embarassed that he did not know why. "Curse this body, it has fallen week to emotions such as embarassment because it has been around weaker creatures."

Natsu... Behave yourself. I don't want a letter saying that you've been experimenting again. All your alchemic tricks are off limits for now. Understand?

Yes. Listen to Pander, Natsu.

Yes-sirs.

Good. Be safe child.

Pander turned on his heel and began to walk out of the village. The large crack in the rock wall let in sun light from the outer world. Pander was framed with light perfectly for a few seconds before the light turned him to a blur then swollowed him.

He stood on the edge of a cliff that looked down miles to the ground. He knew every part of this mountain side. He used to train with Jangen only a few miles higher up. Pander smiled, turning his head to look back into the cave. He began to sing. He knew that the song would get his meaning and feelings across to Natsu.

Cause a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though we can't see I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings

Oh a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever

Oh a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings ohhh

And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll cradle you
Turning all of the lonely years to only days
They'll hold you forever

He dove off the side of the mountain, his arms spread like wings. His jacket billowed out behind him as well as his fur lined cloak. They gave the odd appearance of wings. Pander whizzed passed rocks and some high tree branches near the foot of the mountain.

He put his hands out infront of him, grabbing a branch. It swung him down and around it. Planting his feet on the branch, he stood up straight. His balance was exceptional in this area.

"There's nothing for me here is there...?"Kuro asked himself sadly.He had been all around Ria lately and only met two people who seemed really interested in him.I guess I really am just useless...Maybe I should go to the training room and prove how useful I am...He thought hopefully then walked out of the forest back to the school.

Good followed Keila into the clearing. He found and examined Pallas's body. "Darn it. There is no other way. Keila, are you sure you want to do this? You could end up just like this or worse."

"I like this new you, Cadmus, or whatever your new name is," Evil says. "As long as you don't try to hurt me or Riashi, that is. Of course, there is a possiblity that you won't be able to hurt Riashi in the near future."

"Ok. I' will be here acting as an ancore so you don't get consumed by his soul by accident. I'll act as the equipment and transfer your soul into his. You will find a physical form of what is causing this in there, and I bet it's expecting you, but it will be near Pallas. Try to get to him and comfort him and bring him light. Becareful, and stay safe," Good says as he performs the Soul Dive and puts Keila's soul into Pallas's. He goes to grab Keila's falling body. "Please work."

Lily and Liz rushed off together, leading the three girls and Darius through the forest, laughing and screaming as they went. Lily hadn't been happier than that moment in a long while.

When they arrived at the gorge, huffing puffing, they all stopped at the edge and the girls looked down in awe.

"Lily...ok I don't get it...what's so special about this place?" Holly asked. Emily smirked.

"I dunno, if you like mud and getting dirty....this place could be pretty fun." She said laughing.

Darius chuckled, "Yeah, if you don't like it then I guess it's too bad. We're here now."

He looked down towards the mud of the gorge and then looked at the girls. All five of them were on the edge and it was very crumbly. The question was who was going down first.

Very nice Yume... Very nice.

He jumped out of the tree and began to walk along the over grown path towards Ria. The first place he was going would be the hotsprings. Along the path, he touched every tree and every stone. He would dearly miss his home land again. It had been nice to come back but Ria was where he needed to be right now. He thought of getting a dorm room.

It might take some time but he would get one. He would make sure that Yume got one too. Yume at Natsu could live together while he lived alone. He had spend many years alone with Jangen as his only company. Now with Dirge, he wouldn't be so alone.
